| Prep & Sports helps at risk youth |
DELRAY BEACH - Three sporting events in Delray Beach, Florida will be part of the Brandon Flowers Charity Weekend July 11-13 according to local organization Prep & Sports.
Prep & Sports founded in 2005, and whose mission statement is "to focus on at risk youth through programs that provide academic and athletic mentorships, training and guidance." will benefit from the proceeds generated from the weekend's events, that include a seven on seven tournament scheduled for July 13th at the Seacrest Sports Complex.
Prep & Sports promotes athletic excellence, but their emphasis is combined with academic excellence. Numerous testimonials from both college and professional athletes give kudos to Prep & Sports for helping off the field and in the classroom to prepare for college ACT tests. Players and program participants give credit to the program for their academic success.
Brandon Flowers, the charity event's namesake, is a former Atlantic Community High School player and Virginia Tech alumnus. He was drafted in 2008 by the Kansas City Chiefs as cornerback, and in 2010 he helped lead his team to a division title.
